Apologies if this has already been discussed...but if the show was already filmed last Autumn, couldnt contestants tell tabloids etc who has won...or would they be legally contracted not to?

One word. Contract.
NDAs (non-disclosure agreement) can be viscious if broken. |

I had always assumed that it was just aired a week after it had been filmed and that the actual show is only a week ahead of what we see on tv etc. I'm probably wrong...

They have to sign a contract which stops them revealing.
Also the last 2 are given temporary employment in SAS companies until the final. Only the final boardroom is recent (even the final challenge is pre-recorded) |

This was most obvious with Michelle Dewberry/ Ruth "The Badger" Badger as neither could keep a straight face. |

That's why I find it annoying when the winners get too happy , like Simon jumping out of his chair when he was hired. It's kind of stupid and funny that 60 seconds later Kristina probably did the same thing

Even then 2 alternate versions are recorded so SAS can decide on the day which is the winner.

Are the tasks really only weekly or are 2 or 3 squeezed into one week so that the contestants are realy only there 3 or 4 weeks?

If they did, it wouldn't be the end of the world - the media already know the finalists, however the information is embargoed until the date of airing. There's no reason for the papers to spoil it, it's in their best interests to drag out the coverage to up their profitsd anyway. |

I read an article in the Daily Telegraph (it's also on the Telegraph website) where Nick says the tasks are done back-to-back which means the contestants are often doing the tasks on very little sleep.

yes, you have to sign a contract.
I had to sign one when I was on Masterchef binding me to confidentiality and also being tied to the BBC publicity wise for 2 years. |
